Human nature unfortunately, the same mentality that will get wild birds to come to your bird table and trust you after you don't eat them the first couple of times works with us, it may be stupid, it may be dangerous but if you don't get wiped out your brain says it's OK.

The government are reluctant to target one group because they're worried that the rest will think "that's not me, so I'm fine"
